The twenty-minute wine rule is a popular culinary guideline suggesting that you should pull a bottle of red wine out of a cool cellar or a white wine out of a cold refrigerator roughly twenty minutes before serving to let it reach its optimal serving temperature. For chilled white wines, sitting at room temperature for twenty minutes allows them to warm up slightly so their delicate floral and citrus aromas can fully emerge. Conversely, allowing a slightly cool red wine to sit for twenty minutes helps soften its tannins and release rich berry aromas before pouring.
